The Maryland-native says he spent the Fourth of July weekend with his daughter, Angela (AKA Chyna) and her , and he even dished:

"Rob and I have had some one-on-one time. All I can say is he's excited about the prospect of a boy. For Angie, the most important thing is that the baby is healthy. They were really excited when it kicked for the first time."

So, Eric plays it cool, but then he totally lets the gender slip! He shared:

"I said to Rob, ‘I know you're just going to keep going with Angie until you have more than one boy, right?' and he laughed. It wouldn't surprise me if they went on to have four or more kids."

Guess that's the last time they tell him anything… like the name. The dad continued:

"They've chosen a name but they've not told anyone what it is. They want to wait until the baby is born."

Fair enough!!

Chyna's dad even went on to defend his daughter, saying she's not using the famous reality TV star:

"Some people say she's using Rob as a stepping stone. I don't think so. They're great together and they're right together. They love each other and that's all that matters."

Well, there you have it!

So, how much trouble do U think he's going to get into for spilling the big news??

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
